Fact: Our fishy friends are more sensitive than you might think! Goldfish can actually exhibit signs of intoxication if exposed to tap water with high levels of certain chemicals, like ammonia or chlorine.
Why it Matters (and Why You Don't Need to Worry):
- Goldfish Sensitivity: These chemicals are harmless to us at the low levels typically found in treated tap water. However, goldfish have a much lower tolerance and can become disoriented or lose balance if the levels are too high.
- Hidden Threats: While you probably won't see yourself doing the goldfish boogie, these same chemicals, along with others like lead or nitrates, can be harmful to human health at higher levels. The tricky part is, you can't always taste or smell them.
The Importance of Home Testing:
- Peace of Mind: Knowing exactly what's in your drinking water lets you relax and enjoy a nice glass without worry.
- Proactive Approach: Early detection of contaminants allows you to take action, like installing a water filter or contacting your water provider.
Evaluate drinking water using Liberty Gold Standard kits and detect high levels of chemicals to understand contents consumed by your family and pets.
